Reviews
The year 1933 marked the dawn of the second era. THE TIME TRAVELER marked the encore of that era and the SCIENCE FICTION DIGEST was its actual beginning. THE SCIENCE FICTION DIGEST digested the entire field of the past. It carried over Mort Weisinger, Forrest J. Ackerman, ISA. Ray Palmer was the only one of that organization to survive the turn of the era. THE SCIENCE FICTION DIGEST gained in power until it is recognized, even to this day, as the finest fan magazine ever published. It discarded science as a subject for fan magazines almost into oblivion. It featured information about the professional publications and authors with a very small smattering of fan news.Sam Moskowitz: The World Changes (Jan 1939)
